I wish I had known...
That Strasbourg was the second most expensive cituy after Paris! Also, I wish I had known that it was possible to undertake a 'stage' in LEA - the departmet with which I was registered.

Ensure that you plan your year abroad carefully as regards courses, modules, etc.
The same applies to your budget(perhaps even more so!)
Think about getting a part-time job throughout the year so that you won't have trouble looking for jobs in the summmer if you intend to stay until September. To apply for jobs, it is best to arrive in the August before your year abroad.
Overall, my year abroad experience was very challenging but very, very positive and I would recommend Strasbourg to anyone planning to study in France. Strasbourg is a very multi-national, multi-cultural city, where you'll make some of the greatest friendships and have the best time of your life.

I wish I would have found a way to meet a family early in my trip. I met a family in a nearby town towards the end of my time abroad and they helped me a lot.

The students at the university in Strasbourg are very willing to help out international students. Talk to the people around you; it will help a lot!

Take the opportunity to use the train system to travel throughout Europe while you are there! Youth hostels and one-star hotels are inexpensive and give you a place to sleep. Get a good map of your host city so you can find where you want to go. Learn the bus/subway systems to get around.

The course of study that I followed was varied and interesting - try to study things not done before. The academic set up can be complicated and if wanting to change modules, just make sure there are the right amount of credits.

Get a restau-U card straight away because it is cheap and practical to eat in them and get a carte de culture for cinema etc. Buy a second-hand bicycle because there are many bike routes all over the city and into the country. Also get a carte 12-25 for train travel.
